Why the Pauses?

Why are there periods on the Pen when many participate, and other periods when few do?

I flip back and forth between thinking I have something to say and hating the sound of my voice

People speak up when there are interesting things to speak up about. If you track, the busiest times are always when there is fighting or controversy. Members chek in for that. The model of give feedback, post a poem , check back ocasionally has never been sustainable either here or anywhere else.

I usually write in waves where I have a routine (ie write for two hours on Sunday) and stick to it for a few months. Then life gets in the way and that falls away and I do other things.

Then I get back in to writing and come back with a new routine.
